Metabolism of toxic plant alkaloids in livestock : comparative studies on the hepatic metabolism of pyrrolizidine alkaloids in sheep and cattle and of ergot alkaloids in an endophyte-resistant mouse model

Creator:: Duringer, Jennifer Marie
Abstract:: The pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) and ergot alkaloids are known natural toxicants found in livestock forage. These alkaloids contribute to large economic losses in livestock throughout the world. An understanding of the mechanisms of toxicity and development of better diagnostic tools for better management practices was investigated. Variability exists in the...

Diversity combining ARQ over the m(> 2)-ary unidirectional channel

Creator:: Elarief, Noha
Abstract:: In diversity combining automatic repeat request (ARQ), erroneous packets are combined together forming a single, more reliable, packet. In this thesis, we give a diversity combining scheme for the m-ary unidirectional channel. A system using the given scheme with a t-unidirectional error detecting code is able to correct up to...

The study of ¹⁵⁰Sm through the beta decay of ¹⁵⁰Pm, ¹⁵⁰[superscript m]Eu and ¹⁵⁰[superscipt g]Eu

Creator:: Schmelzenbach, Paul D.
Abstract:: The N=88 isotones lie on the onset of nuclear deformation and have a complicated nuclear structure. To better understand this region, the nuclear levels of ¹⁵⁰Sm were studied in three different β decay experiments. De-populating γ-rays were measured using the 8π spectrometer, an array of 20 Compton suppressed Ge detectors....

The development and application of benthic classifications for coral reef ecosystems below 30 m depth using multibeam bathymetry : Tutuila, American Samoa

Creator:: Lundblad, Emily Ruth
Abstract:: Coral reef ecosystems are the most diverse on earth, and their subsistence is being threatened by natural and adverse anthropogenic patterns and processes. In an effort to understand and protect these marine environments, several programs have outlined strategies and initiatives. For example, the United States Coral Reef Task Force’s Mapping...

Of mice and bunnies : Walt Disney, Hugh Hefner, and the age of consensus

Creator:: Allen-Spencer, Patricia C.
Abstract:: Post World War II victory culture and its fallout-the consensus ideology-led to the creation of a middle class willing to conform to a prescribed set of ideals, safely removed from all danger, and enjoying the material benefits of a growing middle-class income bracket. Walt Disney and Hugh Hefner, two seemingly...

New algorithms and architectures for arithmetic in GF(2[superscript m]) suitable for elliptic curve cryptography

Creator:: Rodríguez-Henríquez, Francisco
Abstract:: During the last few years we have seen formidable advances in digital and mobile communication technologies such as cordless and cellular telephones, personal communication systems, Internet connection expansion, etc. The vast majority of digital information used in all these applications is stored and also processed within a computer system, and...

Quantifying C and N contents and isotope signatures of SOM pools in the H. J. Andrews DIRT plots

Creator:: Keirstead, Heath
Abstract:: The mechanisms governing short- and long-term belowground carbon dynamics need to be understood. As part of a larger project developed to assess the effect of quantity and quality of litter inputs on the rate of soil organic matter (SOM) formation, I examined SOM in the H. J. Andrews Detritus Input...

Fantastic Histories: How Malory's Morte Darthur Influenced Tolkien's The Silmarillion

Creator:: Tatom, Simon K.
Abstract:: My thesis, entitled "Fantastic Histories: How Malory's Morte Darthur Influenced Tolkien's The Silmarillion," argues that J.R.R. Tolkien's Silmarillion shares distinct similarities in style and content with Sir Thomas Malory's Morte Darthur, primarily in the lack of detail in the descriptions of characters and events, as each attempts to create a...

Biotransformation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene by ruminal organisms

Creator:: De Lorme, Marthah J. M.
Abstract:: 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT) has been the common munitions used in the world and is an environmental contaminant that is amendable to reductive transformation reactions. The rumen is an extremely reductive environment containing diverse microbial populations. There are 21 pure culture ruminal bacteria species in culture collection, these were tested for the...

Maturity and stability evaluation of composted yard debris

Creator:: Brewer, Linda J.
Abstract:: Compost maturity is an important determinant of end use for composted municipal yard debris, and generally refers to the effect the compost has on plants. The rate of microbial respiration is an indicator of compost stability. The objectives of this research were to: i) determine whether continuous aeration resulted in...
